Short Trips Are STILL Fun!

My friend Joleen from Kansas arrived Thursday for a short 3 night stay!  Even though we talk on the phone all the time, we still have plenty to talk about when she arrives!

Between her schedule and mine, we didn't see a lot of each other but did manage to go to Manitou and enjoy a wine tasting again with cheese, crackers and grapes!!  We talked a mile a minute, sampled 6 different wines and then finally decided on our final GLASS of wine!

When we walked in the door, I recognized the gal behind the bar but I couldn't place her!  She told us we looked familiar too and then told us she used to own Java Junction in Woodland Park!!  OF COURSE, I only got my coffee there for the entire time she owned the business!!!  Funny when people aren't in their "respective" places, you have a hard time figuring out how you know them!

It's such a cute wine bar and we sure enjoyed our time together!

We did some shopping in Woodland Park on the way back up and did enjoy some elk steaks together on Friday night.  She headed back to Ks. this morning - probably for the best as we have weather coming in tomorrow.....................
